Some of you may remember the photo of Cory Schneider that we turned into three galleries worth of the backup netminder playing every stringed instrument under the sun with the gusto of Andrew Bird.Not simply content to splice guitars into his hands, we shopped in lutes, dulcimers, keytars, and a giant submarine sandwich. It was really stupid.

This one’s an open and shut case. Of course, since Cory Schneider is already the Canucks’ accomplished shredder, Kesler’s going to have to settle for being his rhythm section. So Here he is, slapping de bass, perhaps as a member of some sort of funk-soul fusion group?

And I’ll be honest. Kesler’s Movember moustache is giving him a curiously ethnic look, at least to my mind, so here he is as a mariachi, playing a classic guitarrón mexicano .

Come to think of it, this fits in really well with a photo of Cory Schneider that never quite made it into a gallery.

That picture of Gingerbricks rocking out the maracas is amazing. In order to complete the mariachi band, we need another recruit, quick Harrison, find another one! I propose Romer if not Andrew Alberts.

There HAS to be a Raffi Torres photo out there that would make a good vocalist photo… or maybe a Lapierre one since Torres doesnt play here anymore…

I have honestly no clue for a drummer… though that Sami Salo photo with the delicious gloves has a drummer’s bemused face/drool look to it.

And there you have it… a canucks 4 piece band! Now the only question is what style of music do they play? (i vote hair metal)

That photo doesn’t just open up opportunities for musical instruments and the like.
Kesler’s obviously practicing for his backup job as a gondolier in Venice.

Ha, I was just going to comment the same thing. Looks like he’s rowing.

Quick! Someone photoshop him into a shot from that old NFB animated short “Log Driver’s Waltz”. It even features a Johnny Canuck-like lumberjack.

What just happened at the NHL trade deadline? What did the Canucks do? What's a Baertschi? Who's a Conacher? Daniel and Harrison break down the Canucks moves at the trade deadline and what they mean for the Canucks this season (nothing at all) and in the future (potentially lots?), as well as touching on a few of the other trades around the league.

The Canucks have weathered all sorts of injuries this season, largely because of the dependability of their top defence pairing of Alex Edler and Chris Tanev. Now Edler is injured and out for an undetermined length of time, leaving the defence in disarray and the Canucks' season in jeopardy. […]

The Canucks' dominant win over the Pittsburgh Penguins was nearly overshadowed by a couple moments featuring Zack Kassian: the broadcast's bench cam showing him staring at his hands and the massive ovation he received from the Rogers Arena crowd after his goal. […]

The Seahawks lost Super Bowl XLIX in one of the most devastating ways possible, with the game seemingly in hand before it was all so suddenly taken away. What would be the equivalent for the Canucks? The Nathan Lafayette post in 1994? Losing to the Calgary Flames in overtime of game 7 in the 2004 playoffs after Markus Naslund and Matt Cooke combined to tie t […]
